My wife and I came across this place as we were wandering around Carpinteria. It was a warm day and just wanted to stop for a beer. Great selection and the staff were terrific. Polite, professional and friendly. read more

Very friendly, welcoming place. The service and the food were good. You can eat inside, at the bar or on the patio. We had the bbq chicken salad and the fish and chips along with beer and cider. read more

During our day driving from Pismo Beach today we made a stop to stretch our legs In Carpinteria Strate Beach. The park is the home of a harbor seal rookery-make sure you take the right trail if you go. After we finished our visit, it was lunch time. A little google help and we chose Rincon Brewery. We are not really big beer drinkers but a good brewery usually means good food. Not busy during our visit. Attractive industrial/upscale décor plus a patio are for outside dining. Nicely varied menu with burgers (traditional and "smashed"), salads, sandwiches, tacos, and seafood. DW was after something a little lighter today so she zeroed in on a salad-Chinese Ginger Chicken. Chinese chicken salads are always high on her list and this one didn't disappoint. Well-seasoned chicken, spring greens, mandarin oranges, and a light Asian profile dressing. Enjoyed very much. I also find myself drawn to a quesadilla, even in non Mexcan restaurants. And the one here looked real good. I ordered the chicken version and was immediately impressed by the size. Very large flour tortillas used here. Served with generic chips on the side. It was really well made and delicious. Big enough as to have a wedge left to take with us. Our server seemed a bit confused by the "dips' that were listed to come with as I was only served the salsa and sour cream, missing the guac. I mentioned it to him, he nodded, and moved on. After waiting a few minutes for him to return, I had to flag hm down again. He then walked over to a person looking like management, had a conversation, then returned with the cup of guac. Maybe they are trying to save money by reducing the use of it and just haven't changed the menu yet. A bit odd. We enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere hear and recommend for a lunch or dinner. Can't speak for the brews. read more

Great Food! Great Customer Service! Great restaurant! First time going to this brewery. Enjoyed the Carpenteria salad with ginger dressing and the asada fries. There was also the fish tacos , which I didn't try due to my allergy. The artichoke was different. The portions are enough to share. The waiter was attentive as well as the other staffers. Enjoyed lunch here on a lovely Saturday in which we sat outside on the patio. Washed everything down with the berry acai hard seltzer which was tasty and a refreshing (not a big beer drinker). Unfortunately, everything was so good there was no room for dessert. read more

Just off the main strip of downtown, you will find Rincon Brewery. This brewery features a full menu of food, beer, wine and array of other drinks. As for seating, they have a full patio that is partially shaded. There is also indoor seating at tables, high boys and seats at the bar. We grabbed a couple seats at the bar to get the best service on a busy day. The bartenders were very attentive. As we were primarily grabbing drinks, we just had onion rings and a couple of refreshments. The onion rings were very good, especially with some blue cheese. I was also quite pleased with my wine choice- Justin, although it was a little steep in price at $16 dollars. During the weekdays Rincon does off some happy hour. Happy hour is Monday- Thursday from 2-5 pm with reduce prices on beer and house wine. Plus there are bites at reduced prices during happy hour. read more

Nice and easy access from front and rear of shop. In town with our two little pups so glad it was pet friendly on the patio. Had clam chowder, garlic Parmesan fries, shrimp tacos. All tasty and fresh. Salsa with chips was awesome. Servers were polite and friendly and always checking in on us. Ate in street patio. Little street noise to distract you but nice evening people watching. Dessert had the tarpitz-pie which was a good size. Ordered 2 which was a little much for our group of 4. Highly recommend. read more

Another nice brewery in Carp (they have a bunch of them). Just around the corner from busy Linden Ave, we stopped in for a brew during the Avocado Festival. Large patio is dog friendly and a stout and strawberry lager were quickly downed by us. Food menu looked good -- so next time we'll try try some grub. read more

Amazing smash burger. I also got a side of sweet potato fries which were so good. House sauce was also great and not too much of it. read more

Bummer because this was me and my girlfriend's favorite spot for a long time. They've been serving small portions of food recently. My girlfriend got fish tacos and they might as well have given her veggie tacos haha. Definitely won't be eating here as often as we used to. Just too expensive for not alot of food. seems like I'm paying more for less. I hope they get it together soon read more

I had fries yes just fries my friend got a burger no wait time as it was early dinner. Relatively quiet. Would definitely come back to order more haha read more

Ambiance and service were both great and drinks were even better!! Nice and clean place...

Great location in beautiful Carpentaria! They had a great indoor and outdoor area. Our server immediately brought waters for us and our dog then disappeared for over 20 minutes and I wish I was being dramatic with saying that long. We came in when another large party who had also sat outside but it was different servers. The food was good! The pickle chips were so perfectly seasoned. Loved the bacon and cheese potatoe skins. The bacon cheese beer dip was so perfect with the pretzel bites dipped in! Loved all the food. Only the chicken sandwich that someone ordered wasn't that great. It was really moist which made the burger fall apart and you couldn't really eat it. We kept having to ask for things from other servers when he has asked our server for that same thing 5-10 minutes before. That was frustrating. It was frustrating when our food finally did come out (again they did get a pop so that's understandable the kitchen got overwhelmed) the frustrating part was the order wasn't even fully correct from the modifications made. They also put the order in on a kiosk at the table so I'm not sure how it got out in incorrectly when he did it while we were ordering. For 6 of us and only 2 people got beers out bill was over $200 so I wouldn't say it's reasonable price to pay for that bad of service, although the food was good and it was a beautiful day out! read more

Steven, the server, was great! The Caesar salad and dressing was GREAT! Steven was wonderful!

This is such a great place to eat in Carpinteria, I have been here twice with my family. The service is friendly and prompt, it's such a relaxed atmosphere. The food was delicious, my granddaughter loved the asada fries and she's such a picky eater. I have tried their brews and they have been delicious. read more

Stopped by Rincon to catch the Sunday NFL games. Ordered a La Reina Lager and Steve (bar tender) asked if I wanted a pint or 22oz. Steve failed to share that the pints of lager are on special for $5 during all NFL games. When I paid and called Steve out he said it was a learning experience. Poor way to treat your customers and more imports a local. Will catch Monday Night Football at Third Window Brewery. read more

Came by here a few times. They always have a variety of drinks. Good food from burgers to fried pickles. Fried pickles never disappoint. They have drinks to go. Growlers to refill. Always a must stop by. read more

Great food! Artisan handcrafted ales and loggers! Quick efficient service and a small local business that Santa Barbara's can support happily. Is there room for a sixth star? read more

The beer is pretty good and there is a good selection of beer options. The bad: They have ZERO vegetarian options but meat can be left out of the cali burrito. We ordered the cali burrito (veggie) for $15 and the fried pickles $11. Neither were very good. The burrito had the guac all toward one end of the burrito and I will let the photo of the limp fried pickles speak for itself. Won't be back. The good: The servers are friendly and they allow dogs on the patio. read more

I tend to stay away from breweries but the food was highly recommended by my sister. We got a bunch of things to try and it was all really good. The service was a little slow but it's kind of to be expected in carp. The ambiance is your typical casual brewery. read more

I came in for lunch and everything should have been great. The service was solid, and our waiter did everything right. The problem was the Caesar salad. The dressing was extremely oily--almost all oil. The lettuce was shiny and gross-looking, and the whole thing tasted flat and flavorless. I sent it back, and the waiter kindly had it remade, but it came out exactly the same. It seems like they're trying to make their own "in-house" Caesar dressing, and it's awful. They'd be better off buying a good quality premade dressing instead of serving something this unpleasant. The rest of the food was good, so I'll come back, but I won't order anything with Caesar dressing again. I'll go across the street for Caesar. read more

Someone recommended this place so we thought we would try it out. The food was amazing and the service was top notch. I think the bartenders name was Steve. He had great recommendations. Very friendly service and the beer was great too! read more

The original Rincon Brewery is a family friendly, beach town vibe brewery with great California cuisine. The location is decently sized with both indoor and outside seating. That being said there is constant air flow in the building since the outside has two giant doors that remain open. If you're hungry, I'd definitely order the fish tacos but everything on the menu is well prepared and what you'd expect from beach town. They basically combine Mexican style food with a California twist to it. Now to the beer! They brew everything they serve and have different styles for everyone. My go to is the La Reina Lager, a Mexican style cerveza. It's a refreshing and served with a lime to give it that kick of citrus to go great on a hot summer day. Located in the center of town you can get some great food and a beer for good price, all while being less than a mile from the center of town. read more

Heads up, if you need gluten free, not many options. They will make burgers wrapped in lettuce, you will need a fork because they are loaded! They have any kind of fry you would want. Disappointed there weren't any gluten free beer options but honestly there's not that many to begin with. Service was good, the server was great bringing out the meals and he even was able to balance multiple plates on one arm. Outdoor as well as indoor seating available and the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful! Parking is in the back. read more

Ate here for lunch recently and it was so tasty! The perfect spot for a meal outside while enjoying the sunny Carpinteria weather. They have a parking lot, which is awesome! I opted for the blackened shrimp tacos and they were delicious. My husband really enjoyed the spicy habanero fried chicken sandwich. The service was excellent- we were seated right away and well attended to throughout our whole meal. We'll definitely be back! read more

10/10! Stephen was an amazing server. Great sense of humor, easy going and knows his beers like the back of his hand. The Thai chili wings were moist and balanced, with the right amount of heat. The fried pickles were fresh, not frozen like a lot of restaurant these days. The beers speak for themself. The la reina, dos Arboles and the Oktoberfest were my favorites. This brewery clearly puts effort into their lagers and Pilsners, and isn't like most just pumping out ipas and DIPAs. Will be back for sure, can't beat the happy hour deals. read more

Everything was great the food drinks and atmosphere. our server Hannah s. Was very personable and professional. She deserves 10 stars. read more

Top notch brewery in Carpinteria! Fantastic friendly service, great selection of brews, and delicious food.

I'm a fan of beer that isn't too hoppy, so IPAs are not my thing. What I've discovered (and fallen in love with) is Rincon's La Reina. It's light, flavorful, and the perfect thirst quencher. Add a Tajin rim and a squeeze of lime for an amazing blend! read more

Had a work lunch here recently and it was a very good meal. The staff were all professional and kind. Our server was great, she made sure our large group was taken care of and that we were always checked on throughout our meal and meeting. Our party ran the gammet on dishes ordered as well, and everything that came to our table all looked good. The sweet potato fries and the cauliflower were both good to share table appetizers and the group agreed. I went for the southern fried chicken salad, the fried chicken is nice portions of well breaded and golden brown fried. The greens are plentiful, this is a big salad with loads of fresh leafy greens, cabbage, carrots, and great cornbread coutrons that really took it to another level. All in all a solid little brewery that makes some really good food, with attentive staff and personnel. 4 Stars - Worth a visit and try 00832 read more

So the smashburger was one of the best I've had here. Great beer to wash it down with as well!

We used to come to your establishment every Friday. For the past 6-9 months, the quality of food has plummeted. Last time I ordered nachos and I could not eat them, they were that bad (and I am not a picky eater). I continued to eat and drink at your restaurant in the hopes it was a temporary glitch, but honestly, I am afraid my money will be spent elsewhere. Hopefully the owners see this post and have a hard look at the chef's skill set. Also, it seems half the wait staff are stoned at work. They simply wander around with food asking if it is our order (even when we are mid- meal?!?!). We used to love this place- please get it together and don't wait until your "bottom line" says you cannot remain open before you see there are major problems with this location. read more

Turkey burger was excellent: only service was a little slow when we we have been there....

Honestly, there's not one menu item we don't love, and we've tried them all. Seriously. Our favorites, tho, are the smash burgers, Cobb Salad, fish tacos, sweet potato fries, breakfast burrito, and the home brews! oh, and tarpitz pie to finish! read more

Wow! If you're visiting the area you must try! And you locals? You've got it so good! What a cool spot! Located in the heart of Carpenteria! Parking is a bit challenging but honestly not a big deal finding it on the side streets and they're located near the corner of Linden so this truly provides for a nice stroll around town! We stumbled upon Rincon Brewery after our heart breaking "boot" from Padero Grill 5 minutes north-because we had our little dog with us and they ABSOLUTELY refuse to allow them even if they're service animals, due to an incident they had a while back. A total shock! One that we never would've considered with all their patio park like seating!!?? Thank you for that because we never would've found this place! With a wide open indoor seating concept, they also have some trendy patio seating out front as well as picnic table seating w/umbrellas on the side... the sun was hot but the climate was perfect and well shaded! Their outdoor dining was full and hopping! Lots of dogs dining with their families too! The service is fantastic and so is the food/drink! My burger was a freakn flavor explosion! I had the Ortega chile burger with a wonderful side salad and my husband LOVED his Maui burger! Their sweet potato fries were bombalicious! An excellent meal! They have an awesome selection of brews as well as some wines for those who prefer the vino! A must try! I look forward to coming back here! read more

Very nice, open and breezy!! Loved the outside patio available to dine. We chose inside to be cooler on the warm day we visited and enjoyed lunch. Our service was outstanding by Rose. She was super friendly, kind and accommodating with our group of 5 ladies, not to mention taking time to fill us in on Cape's upcoming Avocado festival. My friend and I enjoyed a yummy mimosa with our salad. All our salads were very delicious and made with fresh ingredients. The lettuces used were nice and crisp, the meat had lots of flavor and moist. The portion on each salad was excellent and shareable by my friend and myself. For the price, the salads were a great deal considering the price of food has really gone up! It definitely was a great lunch choice since we all wanted salads. The restaurant looked clean. Being a brewery lots of beer choices, but they also had wine, mimosas and a few other choices. They have happy hour for our next visit!! read more

Truly one my favorite breweries in Carpinteria. Not only do they have a great selection of beers but also good. I love their fried pickles and cheese beer dip. I believe you're safe getting anything off their menu, so try it all. Their hard kombucha, Jellybowl POG and Shoreline Guava are a must try, especially if IPAs aren't your thing. Those 3 are really the reason I always come back here. Their service is always quick and servers are very friendly. I mean, everyone in this town is. read more
